"I Wish It Would Rain" aka "The easiest song in the world" ~~~ Nanci Griffith version Tabs by Mandy G. P.S. This is the first song I ever learned to play, so it's perfect for all us beginners. Plus it's gorgeous. Learn it... It's easy and fun.

^GOh, I wish it would rain wash my f^G(9)ace cl^Gean

I wanna find some dark clouds

to hide in h^Dere Oh, the love in a m^Gemory It sparkles like ^G(9)diamo^Gnds

When the diamonds fall D Em-C Burns like tears

When the diamonds ^Gfall ^DBurns like tears

^GOnce I had a love from the G^G(9)eorgia p^Gines who o^Dnly cared for ^Emme Gonna f^Cind that love of ^G22 here at ^D33 ^GGot a heart on my right and ^G(9)one on my l^Geft but n^Deither suits my n^Emeeds Cause the o^Cne I love is w^Gay out west and he n^Dever will need me.

(Chorus) Gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes and head for the Gulf Coast plains Wanna walk the streets of my old hometown Where everybody knows my name Gonna ride the train down the Galvaston When the hurricanes blow in Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine when your heart's blowin home in the wind (Chorus)
